CEPA is a small Washington-based policy institution focused on transatlantic security and democracy. The hiring mix—heavily weighted toward communications and interns—combined with active projects around content creation, media outreach, and congressional engagement, reveals an organization scaling its external voice and policy influence rather than internal research capacity. The tech stack (WordPress, Datawrapper, Flourish, Mapbox) maps to publication and visualization work, while documented pain points around publication streamlining and external visibility suggest growing operational strain as output demands increase.
CEPA operates as a nonpartisan, nonprofit policy research organization headquartered in Washington with satellite offices in London and Brussels. The institution conducts research and analysis on transatlantic security, democracy, energy policy, and U.S.-Central Europe relations, serving government officials, policymakers, transatlantic businesses, and emerging policy leaders. Work spans research production, congressional briefings, convenings, and events. The 11–50 person headcount is structured primarily around communications, research, and policy teams, supported by executive leadership.
CEPA is headquartered in Washington, DC, with regional hubs in London and Brussels. Current hiring is restricted to the United States.
The stack includes WordPress for content management, Datawrapper and Flourish for data visualization, Mapbox for geospatial work, and Adobe Creative Cloud for design—typical infrastructure for policy publication and interactive reporting.
